Who uses Dragon
Dragon is a runeword for body armor or shields, aimed at melee characters who rely on skills to augment their attacks. It provides a Holy Fire aura, which deals continuous fire damage to nearby enemies, along with chance to cast Venom and Hydra on striking. The defense bonuses and attribute increases make it a solid defensive option. It becomes available at level 61 and requires three sockets. Since it can be made in either armor or shields, players can choose the base that best fits their build. It is not ladder-only, so it can be used in non-ladder games.
